What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Baya Bar's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, attempting a transfer in violation of Article 6 of the Development Agreement constitutes a default that may lead to the termination of the agreement. This means that any effort by the developer to transfer their rights or obligations under the agreement without adhering to the specific procedures and requirements outlined in Article 6 can result in immediate termination.
Article 6 likely contains provisions regarding obtaining Baya Bar's approval for the transfer, meeting certain financial or operational criteria, and paying any applicable transfer fees. Failing to comply with these stipulations, such as attempting to transfer the agreement to an unapproved party or without paying the required fees, would be considered a violation.
This provision underscores the importance of carefully reviewing and understanding the transfer requirements in the Development Agreement. A prospective Baya Bar developer should seek legal counsel to ensure they fully comprehend the implications of Article 6 and the steps necessary to execute a valid transfer, should the need arise. Non-compliance can have severe consequences, including the loss of development rights and associated investments.
